After the adoption of the Ordinance of Intention the Board of Public Works shall cause a notice, entitled “Notice of Street Lighting Maintenance,” to be published not less than two times in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City. Such notice shall contain statements of the facts of the passage of such ordinance and that an assessment is proposed to be levied therefor, the ordinance number and the time and place when and where protests relative to the proposed improvement or appeals against the assessment will be heard by the Council. It shall briefly describe the improvement substantially the same as it is described in the Ordinance of Intention, and refer to the Ordinance of Intention for further particulars. The publication of the notice shall be completed at least ten days prior to the time set for the hearing of protests.
In proceedings for maintenance of and furnishing of current to any street lighting system for the first period after its acceptance or acquisition by the City, the City Engineer shall mail notices, at least 15 days prior to the date fixed for the hearing, addressed to the owners of real property within the Assessment District, as their names appear upon the real property ownership records of his office, stating the time, place and purpose of the hearing, and the period for which the said maintenance and furnishing of current is proposed. Such mailed notices shall also state that necessary maintenance and current for succeeding periods may be ordered after hearings by the Council of protests relating thereto, and that notice of such hearings shall be published at least 10 days prior to the dates of hearing; and that for any or all of such succeeding periods the said system or district may be maintained separately or may be incorporated with other systems or districts. If the published notices for such first periods of maintenance contain similar statements, copies thereof may be mailed by the City Engineer to property owners in the district in compliance with this paragraph. The failure of the City Engineer to mail any such notice or the failure of any person to receive the same shall not affect the validity of any assessment or other proceeding provided for in this chapter.
